...Masons bought a block of tenements in South Philadelphia. With another $40,000 and Negro labor they will transform the block into a low-cost housing project for Negroes, with 1-2-3 room, air-conditioned apartments built around a central fresh air court. This community centre is to have a gymnasium, bowling alley, chapel, a social worker in charge. Work was scheduled to start this week...
...round and round in little circles. And in California, even Hoover aides and allies indignantly denied that the ex-President's activities were political, pictured him as the intellectual leader of a cause. As for thunder-stealing, said they, the New Deal's thunder was now a low faint rumble far over the hills.

To bring good painting to the family circle, many a low-priced art book, crammed with color reproductions, has lately been published in the U. S. (TIME, Oct. 23). Another venture in the way of such home museums was put out last week by William H. Wise...
...Brooklyn Phelps Dodge is already producing 100 tons a month. American Metal expects to follow it into production. Both companies deliberately put themselves under a handicap by using low-grade Bolivian ore rather than good Malayan ore, which may be cut off by the tin trust. This increases smelting costs so much that the U. S. State Department, which loves to promote trade with Latin America, has never helped it, believing it would be uneconomic...
